Pipe Tec will setup at the upstream access pit whenever possible to video inspect with the flow. The camera will move at a uniform rate at a speed no greater than 30 feet per minute. Distance of the line will be measured and recorded from the center of manhole to the center of the next manhole. The distance will be accurate within 2 feet of every 1000 linear feet inspected. If more than one access pit reach is inspected in a single run, the footage counter will be reset to zero at the center of all intermediate manholes/pits. The camera will pause for a sufficient amount of time to adequately document and provide accurate distance measurements of all defects in the pipe and the connections observed in the line. The camera will rotate and look directly at each defect and look into each connection to thoroughly document the conditions and determine if the lateral is in service. Pipe Tec will capture photos of any moderate and above damages or abnormal conditions. 

The recording shall include an audio portion describing the condition of the lines with the video image. The audio portion will be sufficiently free of background noise to produce an oral report that clear and easily discernable. At the beginning of each inspection run, the audio shall identify Pipe Tec’s name, the crew member, date, time, street location, name of line, pipe size, pipe material, direction of inspection, and the pipe numbers at the beginning and end of the reach. The audio will note during the inspection the location and condition of the pipe defects, including all cracks, breaks, cracked or misaligned joints, root intrusion, infiltration, missing pieces of pipe, corrosion, deposits, obstructions, and any other items which reflect the condition of the sewer line. The audio shall also note the location of the connections, and whether the connection is in service. All observations shall be included on the inspection report. 

Continuous digital recordings of the inspection view as it appears on the monitor shall be stored. A digital recording will be made of the entire inspection. The video will be recorded in MPEG 4 unless prior arrangements are made between the clients and Pipe Tec Inc. 

In case the camera can not pass from upstream to downstream, a reverse setup will be attempted. In case of this type of setup, a separate MPEG file will be stored. Inspection data shall be obtained using Granite software. This will include data tables, observations, pictures, and video. Pipe Tec shall use standard observation codes consistent with PACP coding. Once all inspections are complete, Pipe Tec will give the clients DVDs and log sheets detailing the inspection, an index that outlines the DVDs, a hard drive that details the same information, and Granite reader program that has full rights for viewing all videos, pictures, and observations. CCTV inspection equipment will be CUES camera system with Wincan V10 per specification and will comply with Section 500 of the Greenbook.
